Just picked up 3, 20-gal sized totes filled with random computer cables and wire. Ranging from IDE ribbon cables to CAT 5 to Parallel printer cables and power supply cables. Would it be worth my time to strip something this small AWG? Obviously I'll be cutting off any connectors.
Maybe only strip the larger power supply cords (wall to PC) and leave the rest as insulated?

The smaller stuff you might be able to sell to High Voltage Processing. He seems to carry a decent price.

He prefers wire in 100lb loads I think. I've got mine sitting in the corner of my shop on scales, so when I hit 100 I can hit him up lolOriginally Posted by Mechanic688

I would definitely strip the larger ones. As for the smaller ones if they start to strip easily and you have some spare time, go for it, otherwise leave as insulated.

Also, regardless of whether you strip insulation or not, you may want to clip the gold-tip connectors from printer, CAT5 cables and the like. Boardsort buys them: http://boardsort.com/payout.php

Yep, connectors will be cut off and saved.
